Description of the invention (f) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) The invention relates to a method for stripping a dielectric film, and in particular to a silicon Stripping method for high-carbon-containing low-dielectric-constant films on a wafer control chip. With the increasing enthusiasm of integrated circuits and more and more complex functions, 'multi-metal wire layers have become an indispensable trend. As the number of metal wire layers increases, the problem of increased thickness increases, so by reducing oxidation The dielectric constant of the silicon layer is used to improve the thickness of the silicon oxide layer during deposition as one of the ways to reduce the thickness of the dielectric layer. Generally, the lower the dielectric constant of the dielectric layer is, the thinner the dielectric layer needs to be deposited. Therefore, the current silicon oxide layer is replaced with a low-dielectric-constant dielectric film with a high carbon content, and its low dielectric constant is used. Constant characteristics to solve the problem of resistance and capacitance delay caused by the rapid shrinking of the semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing process line width. However, this high-carbon-containing, low-dielectric-constant dielectric film uses a plasma chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method to deposit a high-carbon-containing silicon oxide film with different carbon-containing reaction gases in order to reduce the dielectric. The purpose of constants has become a popular method today. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs-the above-mentioned quality monitoring work of the low dielectric constant thin film formed by the above-mentioned plasma chemical vapor deposition can be performed by depositing a low dielectric constant thin film on the silicon wafer control chip. After monitoring the quality of the low dielectric constant film on the chip controller, the low dielectric constant film on the silicon chip controller must be stripped with a hydrofluoric acid solution so that the silicon chip controller can be reused. However, the low dielectric constant thin film of carbon content is formed by the plasma chemical deposition method. Because of its carbon content of more than 10%, the carbon atoms in the dielectric film will interact with the surface of the silicon wafer control pad. The silicon atom forms a silicon carbide bond, making the dielectric film ineffective when stripped with a hydrofluoric acid solution. This paper applies the national standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) A7 B7 5 022 6254twf, doc / 006 V. Description of the invention (i) This silicon carbide bond is broken, which makes it impossible to completely peel off the dielectric film on the silicon wafer controller. In addition, the surface of the dielectric film is hydrophobic (non-polar). The hydrofluoric acid solution used when stripping the dielectric layer is a polar molecule, so the wettability of the hydrofluoric acid solution to the surface of the dielectric film will also be reduced due to the difference in polarity between the hydrofluoric acid and the film, making it impossible to apply The shortcomings of the low dielectric constant film are indeed stripped, and when the dielectric film cannot be completely stripped, the silicon wafer control chip can no longer be recycled and reused. It must be returned to the manufacturer for regeneration or directly scrapped, which will cause production Increased costs. Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a flow chart showing the process of forming a dielectric film on a silicon wafer controller from stripping to stripping and recycling. A common practice is to use plasma chemical vapor deposition to form a low carbon constant thin film with a high carbon content on a silicon wafer controller, and then monitor the quality of the dielectric film. After the quality of the dielectric film is monitored, The acidic hydrofluoric acid solution was then used to strip the high-carbon-containing low-dielectric-constant film. However, because a high-carbon-containing low-dielectric-constant film was deposited, the carbon atoms would interact with the silicon atoms on the silicon wafer controller. The formation of silicon carbide bond prevents the dielectric film from effectively breaking the silicon carbide bond when it is peeled off with a hydrofluoric acid solution, resulting in the inability to completely peel off the dielectric film on the silicon wafer controller. The film surface is hydrophobic (non-polar), so the wetting ability of the hydrofluoric acid solution on the surface of the dielectric film will also be reduced due to the polarity difference between the hydrofluoric acid and the film, making the dielectric film more exfoliative. Although it is difficult, the present invention provides a method that can surely peel off the high carbon content and low dielectric constant film on the silicon wafer controller. The present invention provides a method for stripping high-carbon and low-dielectric-constant films. The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 g). (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this.

Description of Invention ($) Method The brief description is as follows: First, the silicon wafer control wafer is treated with an oxygen plasma in a plasma chemical vapor deposition reaction chamber to form a silicon-rich oxide on the surface of the silicon wafer control wafer, in order to prevent subsequent failures. The carbon atoms in the deposited dielectric film are bonded to the silicon atoms of the silicon wafer controller, and then a low-carbon dielectric film with a high carbon content is deposited on the polysilicon oxide to monitor the characteristics of the film and monitor After the action is completed, the silicon wafer controller is immersed in a mixed solution of saddle hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide, so that the surface of the low-dielectric-constant film with high carbon content is changed from hydrophobic to hydrophilic to increase subsequent hydrogen fluoride The ability of acid to wet the surface, and finally the silicon wafer Sheet was immersed in a hydrofluoric acid solution in a concentration greater than 30%, to a high carbon content of the strip of this low dielectric constant film. • In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, a preferred embodiment is given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings for detailed description as follows: Brief description of the drawings: FIG. 1 Shown is a flow chart of a conventional dielectric film on a silicon wafer controller from formation to stripping and recycling.

The monitoring result of invention description (+). Fig. 5 shows the stripping of the dielectric film after the dielectric films on the 12 silicon wafer controllers were impregnated with the hydrofluoric acid solution. Example of Lingjia Window Please refer to FIG. 2, which shows a flow chart from the formation of the dielectric film on the silicon wafer controller to the stripping and recycling according to the present invention. First, the silicon wafer control wafer is treated with an 'oxygen plasma' to form a silicon rich oxide on the surface of the silicon wafer control wafer, and then a high thickness and a low carbon content are deposited on the polycrystalline oxide. The thickness of the dielectric constant film is 6100A, for example, to monitor the characteristics of the film, and then the silicon wafer controller is immersed in a mixed solution of ammonium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide, so that the low dielectric constant film with high carbon content The surface of the silicon wafer was changed from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. Finally, the silicon wafer controller was immersed in a hydrofluoric acid solution to completely remove this high carbon-containing low dielectric constant film, so that the silicon wafer controller could be reused. The stripping method of the high-carbon-containing low-dielectric-constant film used in the present invention has two processing steps compared with the conventional one. One is to process the silicon wafer control wafer with an oxygen plasma before the dielectric film is deposited. The other is to immerse the silicon wafer controller after the dielectric film deposition in a mixed solution of ammonium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide, so that the surface of the low-dielectric constant film with high carbon content is changed from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. Sex. First, 'will · brand new or recovered silicon wafer control wafer, in the plasma chemical vapor deposition reaction chamber, the silicon wafer control wafer is treated with gas-gas plasma to form a high-quality polysilicon oxide layer on the sand' wafer control wafer The parameters of the oxygen plasma are, for example, a plasma density of 0.08-0.24 W / cm2, and an oxygen flow rate of 1000-6.

Description of the invention (Γ) 3000sccm, reaction chamber pressure is 3-5torr, reaction chamber temperature is 300- '500T, the above-mentioned oxygen plasma parameters can be appropriately changed according to the needs of the process. The oxygen plasma used is based on the high temperature and the plasma ion impact effect. 'Native oxide that originally contained oxygen on the surface of the silicon wafer control pad was first attached, and at the same time, the highly reactive oxygen that dissociated in the plasma was used. The atoms and the clean silicon wafer control surface produce a uniform oxidation reaction to generate high-quality silicon oxide. The thickness of this high-quality polysilicon oxide layer is, for example, 42A, and this thin polysilicon oxide layer can be used as a carbon-containing material. When oxidizing silicon films, it blocks carbon atoms from diffusing to the surface of the silicon wafer control pads and interacts with silicon atoms to form silicon carbide bonds that are extremely difficult to remove. Please refer to Figure 3, which shows the results of the six silicon wafer controllers treated with oxygen plasma. Among them, the silicon wafer controller after oxygen plasma treatment can grow a silicon oxide layer with a thickness of about 42 A, and the thickness uniformity is between 0.91%-0.98%, which are all less than 1%, and the silicon wafer controller has a particle size greater than 0.2. The number of millimeter particles did not increase significantly before and after the oxygen plasma treatment. Next, please refer to Figure 4, the above 6 silicon wafer control wafers treated with oxygen plasma treatment and 6 silicon wafer control wafers treated with oxygen plasma treatment, to carry out a low dielectric constant with high carbon content. Thin film deposition for monitoring the properties of dielectric thin films. However, whether the silicon wafer control wafer has been treated with oxygen plasma has little effect on the deposition results of the dielectric film. The dielectric films deposited on the 12 silicon wafer control wafers have thickness, uniformity, carbon content, and increased There is not much difference in the number of particles.

After monitoring the characteristics of the thin film on the 12 silicon wafer controllers, you must peel off the high carbon content and low dielectric constant films on the silicon wafer controllers, and • Before stripping the high-carbon dielectric constant film, the silicon wafer control sheet needs to be immersed in a mixed solution of argon ammonium oxide: hydrogen peroxide: water = 1: 4: 20 for 3-4 minutes.

After washing and drying, it was found that there is no residual dielectric film on the surface of the silicon wafer control sheet treated with oxygen plasma, and the surface of the silicon wafer control sheet that has not been treated with oxygen plasma is about 300 A. And the residual carbon film has a higher carbon content than the originally deposited film. This residual film cannot be removed too much after re-immersion or extended immersion time. The above-mentioned residual dielectric film has a high carbon content. Most of them are bonded to carbonized sand. The bonding of this structure cannot be effectively removed for the fluoric acid solution. Therefore, the present invention has a low carbon content. 'Dielectric thin film'
